After the meeting.
The Prefecture Overseer Manor fell silent again.
The discussions of the Yanzhou people about the truce also came to an end.
For several days, Yanzhou and Xuzhou did not move their weapons, and they were thriving.
March 26th.
Chenliu County, Yanzhou Prefecture Animal Husbandry House.
Cao Cao was enjoying his favorite venison, but he didn't feel happy.
On the contrary, the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger, as if something out of his control was about to happen.
"My lord!"
Dian Wei respectfully said," These few days, I've sent people to monitor the Xiao family in the west of the city. Since that day, Xiao Xinzhi has never left the manor. Only his maidservants go out to buy some food every day!"”
"Dian Wei, do you think Tao Qian will attack my father?" Cao Cao frowned.”
"My lord!"
"You were influenced by that kid!" Dian Wei frowned.”
"Hey!"
Cao Cao put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked in the direction of Taishan County. He said in a deep voice,""A few days ago, I was feeling uneasy and had already sent Taishan County Governor Ying Shao to receive father.”
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the others wore armors and walked into the mansion with gloomy faces.
Zixiao, what are you doing?"
Cao Cao was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
"Brother!"
Cao Ren knelt on one knee and said in a mournful voice," Three days ago, the bodies of my uncle and Cao De were found in the territory of Taishan County. According to the officials of Taishan County, Ying Shao was too late. By the time he arrived, my uncle had already been killed by the bandits!”
"What?"
Cao Cao's face paled.
His mind was like a bolt from the blue, and he could not even stabilize his body.
"Ying Shao is afraid that his elder brother will punish him, so he has already fled to Jizhou with his family!" Cao Hong said hoarsely.”
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
At this moment, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and the others arrived.
Everyone was panic-stricken, and the entire Prefecture Overseer Estate was on the verge of a storm.
"Who killed him?"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth.
Just now, he was still worried about Cao Song.
Now, he had received news of the collapse of the heavens.
"Brother!"
" According to the report from the county officials, there are only dead servants by my uncle's side," Cao Ren said malevolently." Xu Prefecture's general, Zhang Kai, and the others have disappeared. More than a hundred wagons of supplies that accompanied my uncle have also disappeared!"”
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Cao Cao drew his sword and slashed at the doorpost.
His eyes were blood-red like a furious lion.
"Zhang Kai is definitely not good!"
Dian Wei thought of Xiao Bei's words and muttered to himself.
"Hmm?"
Cao Cao suddenly turned around.
Dian Wei's scalp went numb." My lord, I just remembered that kid's words!"”
Cao Cao let out a breath and said hoarsely,""Wen Ruo, help Zixiao. Miao Cai and the others set up a mourning shed for my father and my brothers.”
"Here!"
The civil and military officials bowed and left the mansion.
In less than a day.
The news of Cao Song's death spread throughout Chenliu City.
The war that had just subsided swept through the four cities once again, causing the people to feel uneasy.
The next day.
West of the city, in the courtyard of the Xiao clan.
Xiao Bei was still lying on the rocking chair without moving.
Beside him, Gan Mei held her chin with both hands and asked in a daze,"Young Master, Old Master Cao is dead. Is Yanzhou and Xuzhou going to fight again?”
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei nodded.
Gan Mei sighed and asked in confusion,""That day, did Young Master already guess that Old Master Cao was going to die?”
"Almost!"
Xiao Bei happily took a sip of the stir-fried spring tea and said indifferently,"You're just a little girl, why are you always concerned about these world affairs? If Young Master has a mouthful of food to eat, you will have a mouthful of drink!”
"But!"
Gan Mei's face was flushed red." The merchants at home have all been dismissed. The 5,000-dan grain that Old Master bought when he was alive is about to arrive. Moreover, Young Master has also bought property and a lot of grain in the past two months. If the war starts, we won't be able to sell it. If we can't sell it, we won't have any money!”
"What are you panicking for!"
Xiao Bei said indifferently,"Food is the most important in troubled times!”
"Yes!"
Gan Mei fiercely nodded.
"Haha!"
Xiao Bei smiled indifferently.
Not to mention the importance of food, even the 10,000 gold given by the system would not be enough for him to spend.
5000 dan of grain was only 500 to 600 gold at the current price. If he sold it to Cao Cao, he would earn even more.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, war money was the easiest to earn, but if you met a feudal lord who did not follow the rules, you might not even be able to keep your life. How could you talk about making money?
"Xinzhi!"
"Xinzhi!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the manor.
Seeing this, Xiao Bei straightened his clothes and suppressed the excitement in his heart as he walked towards the manor door.
Qiao County Xu.
This was the existence that had raised Cao Wei and Tiger Marquis.
Moreover, he did not expect his predecessor to have a good relationship with Xu Chu. They could be considered close friends.
"Clang!"
The door opened.
Before Xiao Bei was born, a black shadow blocked his vision.
"Pa!"
Xu Chu's figure was majestic. He patted Xiao Bei's shoulder and said with a sad expression,"Xinzhi, on the way here, this one has already heard about uncle's matter.”
"Hiss!"
Xiao Bei gasped.
Now, he had dozens of combat power, and he was almost slapped down by Xu Chu.
"Barbarian!"
"You're hurting my young master!" Gan Mei said angrily.”
"Huh?"
"Xinzhi, I forgot that you're weak!" Xu Chu said shyly.”
"No worries!"
"No worries!"
Xiao Bei rubbed his shoulders and swept his gaze across the carts of grain at the entrance of the manor, as well as hundreds of Xu family soldiers. He grinned and said,"Zhongkang, how many people did you bring to deliver food this time?”
"Five hundred!"
Xu Chu stretched out his hand.
His five fingers were like iron pillars, almost blocking Xiao Bei's vision.
